As always, the sailing parade started on Saturday, June 25, 2021 at 11 a.m. in Kiel’s inner fjord and is heading towards the Friedrichsort lighthouse and the outer fjord. Of course, there is also the opportunity to watch the windjammer parade from land, for example from the Falckensteiner beach, from the Holtenau lighthouse on the Förde or from the east bank of Kiel, for example at the Möltenort submarine memorial. Of course, sailing on one of the numerous participating ships will also be possible this year.
Due to the corona pandemic, the Kiel Week was postponed from June to September in the two previous years 2020 and 2021. As of now, the organizers and the state capital of Kiel are planning that the Kiel Week 2022 and thus also the Windjammer Parade will take place as usual at the end of June.
